Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 2 packs Shirataki noodles, drained Rinse and drain the noodles before use.
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce Add more to taste if desired.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Method
 

Cooking the Chicken
  1. In a large pot, bring your chicken broth and water to a gentle boil. Add the chicken breast whole and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked through. Once cooked, remove the chicken and set it aside to cool.
Preparing the Vegetables
  1. In the same broth, toss in the mushrooms, carrots, celery, garlic, and ginger. Let those simmer for about 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.
Preparing Shirataki Noodles
  1. While the veggies are cooking, rinse and drain the Shirataki noodles. You might notice a slightly funky smell—don’t worry, it’s part of their charm! Rinse them under cold water and they’ll be good to go.
Finishing the Soup
  1. Once your chicken is cooled, shred it into bite-sized pieces. Toss it back into the pot, along with those glorious Shirataki noodles and soy sauce. Give everything a good stir.
  2. Season your soup with salt and pepper. If you’re feeling adventurous, add a splash more soy sauce or even a dash of chili flakes for some heat!
Serving
  1. Scoop up a hearty portion into bowls, sprinkle with green onions, and prepare for smiles all around the family table.

Notes

This soup is a fantastic make-ahead meal. You can prep the broth and veggies in advance, so all you have to do is stir in the chicken and noodles when you’re ready to eat! If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. The noodles may absorb some broth, so you might need to add a splash of water when reheating. Don’t skip the garnish; a sprinkle of fresh green onions goes a long way!
